Where The Truth Lies Page #5

I don't mean to be impolite...

...but I was wondering...

...how a second-grade schoolteacher

affords to fly first class.

Well, I have a pass...

...that allows me free use

of the subway on weekends...

...and the hot lunches

at school are only 50 cents.

And I'm the mistress...

...of a wealthy married man...

...and when he and his wife

go on vacation, he treats me...

...to a first-class trip

in the opposite direction.

But look at me, talking only about

myself. What do you do for a living?

I'm a French impressionist

painter out of Tahiti, mainly.

I'm doing that to pay the bills.

My ambition is to be...

...a stockbroker in Paris.

- I don't get it.

- Paul Gauguin.

He gave up being

a successful stockbroker...

...to become a painter

in the South Seas.

You think the average

person knows that?

Well, we're not talking about

the average person, Irv.

In some ways...

... he had never stopped

being a hero to me.

That's why it was impossible

to think he might also be a killer.

Well, this has been great.

I'm gonna see you

inside your apartment.

- There's really no need.

- Don't be silly.

I'm not gonna try to come in.

Promise.

You've been away from your

apartment for how long now?

- Ages.

- You never know if somebody's...

...broken in while you were gone.

I'll just see you inside your door.

Believe me, I'm...

I'm not trying to seduce you.

I have to do the Today show

at 7 a.m.

They want me in Makeup at 6:15.

Bonnie had moved to New York

for the teaching job...

... a little over a year ago.

I had never visited her and had

no idea if this was the right place.

Which floor?

Why...

- Four-D.

- Forty?

It only goes up to six.

Four-D...

Four-D, the fourth floor.

Which way?

- Guess.

- Why?

It's a test.

A test?

Okay.

This way.

So why didn't we take this elevator?

Doesn't work.

Well...

...good night.

No, I'm going to see you

into your apartment.

And then I'm gonna leave you

alone until tomorrow.

I never get which key goes in

which lock the first time.

Hey, looks like they fixed it.

You okay?

Maybe we should turn on a light.

Well...

I'm going to leave you now.

I have Reuben and Irv waiting

in the limousine downstairs...

...and I should get some sleep

for the Today show.

So...

It was lovely to meet you, Bonnie.

By the end of the telethon,

we had no voices.

Thirty-nine hours

of nonstop entertainment.

A telethon was a superhuman feat.

We weren't just heroes,

we were gods.

A couple of the boys were there

to make sure we got out alive...

... to make the flight to New York.

Everyone. Listen. Listen.

Gentlemen. Gentlemen, please.

Gentlemen, if I could just

have your attention.
